Bottmingen commune (Basel Land half canton, Switzerland)

Bottmingen

by Pascal Gross

What are these? Spearpoints, rattles,
Christmas-tree tops?

Željko Heimer, 14 December 1999

The official Basel Land website doesn't say much more. It speaks only
about "Two crossed figures on a red background whose meaning cannot be
determined with security. It is the seal of the Basle aristocrat Schilling, the
second owner of the Bottminger castle."
